Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) Recruitment 2026: Apply for 5 Research Associate & Other Posts

This opportunity is ideal for seasoned researchers with a background in Social Work, Women's Studies, or Development Studies, particularly those with a focus on gender issues and a strong track record of fieldwork and research experience. Professionals with administrative and accounting expertise, including experience with ERP systems and financial management in NGO/social sectors, will also find suitable roles. Candidates should be proficient in English and Marathi, comfortable with data analysis tools, and willing to travel within Maharashtra for project activities.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are project-based contractual positions. Candidates without the specified academic qualifications (Ph.D./M.A. for research roles, Bachelor's for administrative) and relevant work experience in social/development sectors or accounting will likely not meet the eligibility criteria. Those unwilling to engage in extensive fieldwork, research, or travel within Maharashtra may also find these roles unsuitable.

The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) is a highly respected academic institution, offering a prestigious environment for specialized project work. While these roles are contractual and project-specific, they provide valuable experience in gender and development studies, contributing to significant policy-relevant research. This offers excellent networking opportunities within the social sector and academia, enhancing a professional's portfolio, particularly for those passionate about social impact and research.
